The Wanted 18 (2015)

Synopsis

Through a clever mix of stop motion animation and interviews,
The Wanted 18 recreates an astonishing true story: the
Israeli army's pursuit of 18 cows, whose independent milk produ-
ction on a Palestinian collective farm was declared "a threat
to the national security of the state of Israel." In response to the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, a group of people from the town of Beit Sahour decide to buy 18 cows and produce their own milk as a co-operative. Their venture is so successful
that the collective farm becomes a landmark, and the cows local celebrities—until the Israeli army takes note and declares
that the farm is an illegal security threat. Consequently, the dairy is forced to go underground, the cows continuing to produce their "Intifada milk" with the Israeli army in relentless pursuit.

While there are a huge number of limited releases on this week's chart, almost none of them have a real shot at mainstream success. There are two films that at least have a legitimate chance at expanding significantly: Infinitely Polar Bear and The Overnight. There are also a number of documentaries and foreign-language films that could do well in limited release, but they won't expand enough to earn significant amounts.
